Looking to get away in the New Year? Here is when flight prices drop, says Skyscanner
Analysis shows lower midweek demand and cancellations often lead to cheaper fares on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, helping travelers save on flights, Skyscanner data reveals.
- Last month, Skyscanner's search data showed Tuesdays and Wednesdays often offer lower fares, revealing midweek as a frequent bargain period.
- Skyscanner's search data shows that airlines use dynamic pricing software, which reacts to demand, cancellations, and sales windows causing fare drops.
- Skyscanner cautioned that there’s no fixed 'cheapest day' to book as pricing shifts with demand, season and route, and noted some airlines release late-Monday deals lowering early-week fares.
- To save, consumers are urged to be flexible, avoid peak days like Fridays and Sundays, and monitor fares with price alerts as travel costs can heavily impact household budgets.
- The report ran via a USA Today partnership and included a Herald disclaimer that it 'does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald'; social media reactions featured a November 30 post by Jade Azim referencing Skyscanner searches.
